Adele Cancels Performance at BRIT Awards in London After Vegas Residency Delay, Report Says

The pop icon was expected to perform at the BRIT Awards for the first time in five years - but it now seems that the ceremony is searching for another star.

Singer Adele has cancelled her upcoming performance in the UK - just days after she had to postpone her concerts in Las Vegas, The Sun has reported. The superstar was expected to participate in the 2022 BRIT Awards at London's O2 Arena. However, a source told the newspaper that she pulled out around a week ahead of the performance.

"Adele was confirmed to perform on the night but has now pulled out — which has been a massive blow for the organisers... They are talking to her team to see if she can appear by videolink... It's a massive headache but they want her involved in any way she will agree".

Now, the organisers need to find someone to fill in for Adele - and also receive her awards if she wins them since she is nominated in four categories. And according to The Sun, some stars have already refused this role.

All dates will be rescheduled More info coming soon

"Names already mentioned include Sam Smith, and even Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa — who are both up against Adele for awards — but they are all looking unlikely. They have also made an approach to Stormzy, in the hope that they can persuade him".

The source added there were concerns of "backlash" if she'd performed at the ceremony so soon after the last-minute cancellation of her events in Las Vegas, which disappointed her fans. Some reports also claimed that Adele is putting off her performances due to stress, linked to her relationship with sports agent Rich Paul.
